The Harsh Reality of Life's Journey
Just feel the beautiful life.
I am getting more and more exhausted as the pen runs out of ink,
I am writing sentences that do not actually make any sense,
I feel, I am not understanding what patience is, although I am being patient,
Am I an ocean ship? No matter how far I seem to go, I still found myself at the same place where I was.
It is believed that everyone’s future is already written in fate,
But I wonder whether my fate has fallen into some dark hole,
Astrologer had told me that the lines of my hand are good,
But I am still wondering what has happened with me, that can be considered good
If something is not good today, it’s obvious to be better tomorrow,
If it won’t take place tomorrow, why won’t it be the best the following day?
I was moving forward, consoling myself about the better things to happen,
But when I came out of the imagination to reality, I couldn’t realise I was already 60/70 in age.
This is my once-in-a-lifetime life,
I can proudly say that I had dreamt of many things.
But in the end, the reality hit me and I realized the fact,
Dreams are like fruits hanging up in the sky, we can only stare.
I met many people who came and said that they are with me if anything is wrong,
And those people made me think friends like cigarettes and alcohol seemed to be found nowhere.
But I didn’t even know that the cigarettes and alcohol are also selfish as the human being,
Recognized me until I had money and refused to know me when I was helpless.
Life was good when we were a child,
We could get anything in the blink of an eye, when we cry.
But I am not even able to cry now, as my lifespan is declining,
Everyone gives the name of a play even when the heart is crying and eyes are weeping.
Nothing in the whole wide world dares to worry me now,
Cause this world has taught me the way to live my life.
There is nothing different about being good or bad in front of enemy,
While everyone here has the capability to earn people along with the money.

I like your prose, it’s very relatable. I can sense a childlike like spirit and to me that is always a good thing. Well done for reaching in the deepest parts of you and putting them into words that we can all relate to.
